BIÑAN--The tandem of Terrence Romeo and Mans Carpio won the special three-point shootout that took place before the PBA Mindanao All-Star Game at the Davao Del Sur Coliseum in Digos on Wednesday night.

Romeo and Carpio combined for 33 points, enough to beat the three other pairs in the side event, the team-ups of Bong Go and Allan Caidic; Kenneth Duremdes and Bobby Pacquiao; and Scottie Thompson and Michael Sabsal.

Romeo, who came on as a late replacement for PJ Simon, erupted for 24 points by himself, which bested the combined scores of the Go-Caidic (22) and the Thompson-Sabsal (18) duos. Duremdes and Pacquiao came in second with 27.
